Abstract
Directors of scholarly communication and others responsible for institutional policies with regard to repositories and open access have an increasingly complex landscape to manage. University presses, even those with a strong support for open access, often have subscription journals. Are there areas where these subscription journals can follow OA-friendly practices that can help the IR managers and OA policy administrators? If so, maybe these can be practices that other journal publishers can be pressured to provide?
We bring together three panelists from research universities with diverse responsibilities of administering an open access policy, managing an institutional repository, and managing journal publishing to discuss what features and terms can reasonably be expected of publishers to support open access.
Topics at this Lively Lunch and discussion include: What can publishers do to simplify the administration of IRs? What terms could be clarified so that authors who share their submitted manuscripts can do so with confidence that they are not afoul of publisher restrictions? What terms should cover data so that universities can archive not just articles but sufficient data to allow independent review and evaluation of research results?
Open Access: Getting on the Same Page: What if IR Managers and OA Policy Administrators Could Have Everything They Desire From Publishers?
